Blank mind, cloudy vision
the satisfying crack of collision
from an elbow swung, or punch thrown
and in my ears, a buzzing drone

I breath deeply, and start to think
of how I was pushed, to the brink
I really do regret it now
I'd fix it but, I don't know how

But it feels so good, at the time
but the mind doing it, isn't mine
It's not the nice sweet child
with polite voice, and manners mild

But which am I and which is me?
Which one of those am I going to be?
The child, who's weak yet nice?
Or the monster, nobody crosses twice?
well my poem for you is short
there's nothing much to say

because of you,
I can stand in the
middle of a maze
in the bermuda triangle
in complete darkness,
inside the twilight zone,

still
never lost
 Mar 2015 The Demons Within
Alexa
it's a lot like standing in the rain
without an umbrella and
wondering why the ****
you didn't think it could rain.
I am a survivor of ****** abuse.
I grew up between dysfunctional families
where we did not say what was not okay
until I could not remember the first time I had been abused.
But I remember the last.

Now I am the severely depressed survivor
who cannot ride passenger without remembering
his driving me 80 and angrily down a gravel road
who cannot sit in hot water without remembering
his joining my bath
who cannot tell my stories
even when people ask.

Tonight I try…
try to feel happiness as I run in the rain
try to tell the sadness of losing my mother
try to tell you I am not okay.

Tonight I will write stories
about grandma rising from her wheelchair
to be raised up on eagle’s wings
about grandpa who never told me he loved me
before he died
about my brother who goes to Yale
but cannot control his temper.

I will write stories, my stories
And I will let you read
If you will help me write.

I begin with this poem
I trusted you with my secrets
I trusted you with my life
I trusted you with my love
I trusted you with details of my strife
I trusted you with my demons
And the darker parts of my soul
I trusted you with my odd sense of humor
I trusted you with me as a whole
I trusted you with my loyalty
And with my lighter side
I trusted you with my failures
And with everything else I hide
I trusted you with forever
And the pain that’s in my eyes
When the only thing I should
Have trusted you with was goodbye

Break a promise,
Break my heart.

Where to begin?

You said you would be there,
but you weren't there for me.
You said you would call,
but I've yet to hear your voice.

Once upon a time, our story never started,
It's just a faded dream in the back of my mind.
I never told you,
And I probably never will.
How much you mean to me,
Will remain an unspoken secret,
Hidden deep in my history.
Do you know how to keep a secret?

Well here is mine,
I am breaking,
Falling apart.

You are hurting me,
Despite the times I told you I was fine.

My heart is tearing in its own time,
Quickly and painfully.

I'm hurt so bad.

But I'm not sure how to tell you.
I had a little secret
That was so little
Now I feel today that
I could not tell you yesterday

Tried and tried several times
You never gave me a chance to say,
my secret songs -
I tried and tried several times
I could not....
I could not.....

Sometimes I felt pain
When you were passing,
outside from my door
I tried and tried several times
I could not...
I could not....

Today, days has changed
I am paying price for my secret
May be, it could change my life
If I told you my secret,
the little secret

I was not caged but-
may be a shadow lied there
Now time is reverse
The secret is over
‘O’ I could not tell you my secret

A Secret …
A priceless secret
My little secret was secret
The secret is
I love you
and let me love -

This is a lyrical love poem and I wrote for a song
It's all drifting apart,
you seem so far away,
I've tried to reach you in everyway,
am I pushing you away?

I never meant to,
now the guilt inside my heart flew,
I can't seem to break your walls through,
I miss you, I do.

I thought we were as close as the vein,
but instead you flew away as fast as a plane.
What really happen to those old days?
What really happen to those smiles?

We're drifting apart,
I'm hoping to get you back,
I'm hoping you're coming back,
I'm hoping everything came back.
